stephen welcomes mark wahlberg! and lily gladstone! featuring louis cato and "the late show" band. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert. ♪ [cheers and applause] >> stephen: welcome, welcome, and here come out there, all the ships and sees, i am your host, stephen colbert. [cheers and applause] i just want to start tonight by saying calm down. there's no reason to panic, and i know that because of the screaming headlines that say "no reaso to panic."

unfortunately, having no reason is my favorite way to panic. all of this because there is some alarming news from ohio are presented and men who just walked in on his son playing catch with another dad, mike turner. the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee released an unusual statement today warning of a serious national security threat without providing any additional details. that's unnecessarily vague. it's like labeling a pack of cigarettes "surgeon general warning, trust me, you don't want to know." we didn't get much more than that. we didn't get much more than that other than reports that the threat is related to russia. oh, my god. is it a bio weapon? is it cyber warfare? are they sending stevenson call

back?for their part, the white e said they were planning a congressional briefing for tomorrow adding they couldn't added today they were busy stocking up on candles by other congressmen on the intelligence committee have stepped forward to call for calm. one connecticut congressman jim himes said i don't want people thinking that martians or landing or that your wednesday is going to be ruined. martians are landing? great, now my wednesday is ruined. so that was our midafternoon panic, right? midafternoon panic. by late afternoon we got some more details from sources wit access to highly classified information. so anyone who used the bathroom at mar-a-lago. reportedly, the threat is russia wanting nuclear weapons in space, but before you get too worried, the nukes would not be to drop a weapon on earth from orbit, but to possibly use against satellites. reminds me of that famous quotes

from "oppenheimer." "now i am become death, destroyer of gps, find your own way to costco." i cannot say this enough, there is no reason to panic about that. the only reason to panic is if you forgot it's valentine's day. you still have 20 minutes to save your marriage. this is an extra special valentine's day this year because valentine's day and ash wednesday fall in the same day, which explains why the top gift at cbs this year was an adorable toy bear that says "for dust thou art and unto dust thou shall return." for any of you viewers who aren't catholic, these holidays are very different. valentine's day is all about sensual indulgence and making love, while ash wednesday is a day of fasting and reflection marking the start of lent. some catholics maybe tempted to celebrate both but one official warns ash wednesday is far more significant and should be

prioritized. sounds like somebody didn't get a valentines last year. bishop? this valentine's day, nearly half of u.s. adult population is unmarried. half, which means statistically speaking there's a 50% chance that if you're married, your spouse is not. ask. always ask. with this increase in singles, reports show that self gifting is on the rise. remember, the catholic church is against that too. [cheers and applause] okay. okay. that's a stroker. what i don't understand is what's the difference between self gifting and just buying things? this year i'm gifting myself an oil change and a pack of gum. i am such a terrible gift giver, i have to break up with me, but i can't do it on valentines.

it's not just singles, this valentine's day, polyamory is getting more attention mostly from that one couple that keeps polyamorous now? because we are and it's totally cool with both of us, right? honey? she's cool with it." as a happily married monogamous, i would never go in for polyamory because who has the time? or the energy, a two-person relationship is already work enough, i'm so busy that we work our date nights into the show now. she's on tonight. hi, sweetie. [cheers and applause] darling, do enjoy these jokes about polyamory. they are just jokes. [laughter] donald trump celebrated the day by writing a valentine to his wife melania and then having his campaign send a mass email blast

with the subject line "i love you, melania." unsubscribe. [laughter and cheering] the actual text of the valentine is actually pretty weird. it reads "dear melania, i love you, even after every single indictment, arrest, and witch hunt, you never left my side. through thick and thin, no matter what the deal -- through thick and thin, no matter what deal the prosecutors offers offers you, you kept your trap shut. that's what i call love. also what our prenup calls minimum negotiated terms." last night -- [applause] just last night -- love.

i love love. last night we got big election results in the special election to fill the house seat vacated by republican fabulous george santos sr. on television for the last time. republicans were hoping to hang onto the seat with their candidate but the clear winner was democrat, seen here -- seen here at seaworld begging for fish. [laughter] suazzi, or the suaz, as no one called zoom, won by commanding a point lead where he laid out his vision for america. >> it's time to find common ground and start delivering for the people of the united states of america. let's take our country back from the dividers. so listen, you want to take the country back from the people are trying to divide it?

supporters... >> i want to thank the jewish voters of my district who stuck with me. i want to thank the chinese-americans who helped me. i want to thank the korean americans and i want to thank the indian americans, the pakistani, the bangladeshis, the muslim communities. the african americans, latino americans, the white, irish, and italian guys. i want to thank the women -- >> stephen: and i want to thank men who are under 5'5". i see you, short kings! i've got to thank magness, this one icelandic american guy i see sometimes. let's see, who am i leaving out, left-handed ghosts? this is a swing district, so it's not a shock that a centrist like him didn't seek donald trump's endorsement and the fact that she didn't made him mad as he posted last night "republicans just don't learn i

have an almost 99% endorsement success rate in primaries and a very good number in general elections." if she just would have embraced trump she could have joined the ranks of success stories like senator oz, senator brain-damaged and governor different kind of brain damage. trump truthed on. "most of the republican party stayed home and it always will unless it is treated with the respect that it deserves. i stayed out of the race. i want to be loved! wow, that came out of nowhere. his subconscious just jumped up his throat and strangle his brain. right in the middle of his screed... "we must get out of nato because they aren't paying their fair -- i want love, daddy, please hug me. hug me once, share of the defense budget so i would incur give me fries, hungry, mommy."

was to get the dog the proper help that it needed and the dog went home to live with him and the dog had never been inside before. he had to sleep outside the first night that he actually had the dog and he was not a dog lover. incredible story. a true story. i saw the documentary on espn and i said we would love to make a movie. >> stephen: we have a clip right here. >> why is there a dog here? >> what do you mean? >> how did that dog get here? >> this is where i fed the dog right? back up with us, right there. how did he get all the way from here to there, right? while we were on bikes and zip lines and hiking and running and climbing, how did he do that? >> he must have wings we don't know about. >> that was my first guess.

[cheers and applause] first of all, how did you find out about the nomination? did you get a call in the morning like the nobel prize? >> we learn like everybody else does, by watching. so i was in osage county on the osage reservation and face timing with my parent's so if it were to go the way that it did,

have a foot in both worlds i guess. so i was on facetime with my mom and dad and it was funny, my mom very naturally did the mom thing it at the camera up to the tv so i could see what they were seeing. couldn't really see -- just little white lines of light with no definition. i was like i can't tell what's going on so she held the phone out and make sure they were both in there. so she was holding the phone up when the announcement came in and i couldn't hear it but i could tell by their reactions. >> you read it in their face. that's extraordinary. >> exactly how i wanted it. >> stephen: your high school yearbook in 2004, this photo has gone viral. they called it 20 years ago, most likely to win and oscar.

are they... is everybody aware they called it 20 years ago? >> yeah. it's a 20 year reunions of the 20 year reunion is building around a watch party for the oscars, it seems. it was really sweet. it kind of reached capacity early enough. >> stephen: you aren't going to be able to go to your 20th reunion because you'll be at the oscars. >> i will wave at everybody on stage, i guess. >> stephen: let's talk about the love story between molly and ernest burkhart. it's an unusual love story but they do appear for all the betrayal and how dark the story is, there does appear to be love there. how would you describe that relationship based on what you know about the character in the research? because it's incredibly complex. >> yeah, it's a little twofold in that one it is true to the history, particularly her granddaughter, who i got to meet

and i can just see that's where how he drew a lot of inspiration from how he sketched on the book but a meeting with 250 members present from the gray horse district where she was from and margie went up and said you've got to remember you are in love. he insisted to the day he died that she was a good one, as he would say. there is a legacy in the kids. people remember their kids as being very fun loving and close to each other. and even after ernest had got out of prison his son cowboy would go pick him up and drive around with him. gave him the nickname "old dynamite." still had a relationship. >> stephen: old dynamite because he blew up the houses of the people who were standing up -- >> because of his guilt and the complicity of it. it doesn't make sense, yet it is. there was real love in this family. these kids had what we can

assume was a happy home life because they grew into very fun-loving people who love each other a lot. so there was that element and then in our first meeting, the first time that i zoomed with leo and marty talking about some leo and marty talking about of the script changes, it very much occurred to me that this love story and serve as a greater analogy for the bigger betrayal here of colonization of indigenous people, the amount of trust on tribal parts in these relationships and these treaty relationships, that haven't been honored but have been like systemically over time just betrayed our own sovereignty being eroded, i could see this love story serves as a nice little microcosm for that larger conversation. >> stephen: is it true and... if true, i love this. that during the, you know, covid the lockdowns of 2020 you applied for a job at the

department of agriculture? >> i was in the process of registering for a data analytics course so i could get paid for it. kind of volunteer for citizen science of course but i was staying the county south where the murder hornets had settled in, i have a part protective, almost maternal love for bees, particularly bumblebees so it just kind of felt like a purpose calling me. >> stephen: this is you with your beloved bees. right there. >> those are honeybees. that's in osage county. >> stephen: what you love about bees? >> so much. i put honey in everything. it's my go-to for every little rash or cut, it's just honey. looking for a purpose. i was bringing my dog back from a walk and she just fixated on this little buzz in the

succulents in front of our house and it was a be. she tends to eat bees so she wouldn't get stung. and it was a chunky bumblebee. a tricolored, tribelted bumblebee witches and indigenous species. i moved into the back porch and two days later he was still there. he was just sitting there looking inside. so i brought him and i made a little mixture of hunting and water and kept them going for another few weeks and learned about his species. they've got an incredible genome. >> stephen: you had a pet bee? >> i had a pet bee! beelzebub. >> stephen: a rich and interesting life. thank you so much for being here, it was lovely to meet you.
